India history and geography
Source: academia.edu: The Chronology of Ancient Gandhara and BactriaKing Gondophares I (766-730 BCE).—King Gondophares I was the founder of Indo-Pahlava empire in India and his capital was Takshashila. Most probably, he conquered Takshashila in 766 BCE and made it as his capital. Evidently, he succeeded Apracha and Avacha satraps of Indo Scythians in Takshashila. The rise of Gondophares ended the power of Indo-Scythians around 766 BCE.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
